I did see there’s an update to the app, there’s version 1.1.2 now so I’m going to give that one a try as well

alright, try that as well, and I will ask the dev team to reply you

I don’t want anyone to spend too much time on this though - this was just me being curious why it wouldn’t work. I know it’s an old tablet device, so I’m not surprised if it’s not behaving as expected. Just thought it was interesting that a random UVC app showed the display, while the openterface app didn’t

Well, yet thanks for reporting! if openterface app works in older tablet, then great, we can give another life for these tablets and purpose.

It does not support using an Android device to obtain the video stream of another Android device. Currently, it only supports Android devices to obtain the video stream of window or Linux devices.

Thanks for the reply. I have to ask though - at its core, the openterface android app is just another UVC camera viewer, isn’t it?
I’m just trying to understand why one UVC camera viewer app works (nExt Camera) while another one (openterface android app) doesn’t.

Yes, our openterface is also a UVC camera viewer, but we only support our openterface, not other uvc devices

Right, which makes sense.
I am using the openterface kvm device here though. The other UVC camera viewer works with it, but the openterface app doesn’t.

Was there a resolution (no pun intended) here? Did it ever end up working?

Hah I got totally sidetracked with my other projects! Let me check really quick and see if the new version resolved the issue
Originally posted by Virtual-Potato
Yep, even with the latest version, it still doesn’t work.
A random UVC camera app, like “nExt Camera” shows the video from the phone just fine. It’s just not showing up with the openterface app

So sorry I missed this; I’m still figuring out Discord notifications; thank you for being so kind to check.

np, anytime.
BTW, I’m still curious as to why only the display isn’t working with the app - I can even send keystrokes and move the mouse - just no display

That’s very interesting. I’m having similar issues, actually, but with multiple hosts (a Reolink network video recorder & a Mac laptop): black screen, no output, but USB ostensibly working (the M&KB logo is green, but can’t seem to do anything).
Kevin is investigating in a support ticket; I will update here once there is any conclusion or resolution.

Now, I will say, I only tried one Windows 11 machine (target) and it worked the first day, and then never again. 
But I ahve tried multiple hosts (Mac laptop; Windows PC) and it’s all just a black screen

@zipityzi for you case, you device doesn’t work after upgrade firmware? I am worrying the upgrade process has some issues, but the program cannot detected
